De Tiburtino veniet agro haedulus, qui plus lactis habet quam sanguinis, et montani asparagi. grandia ova adsunt ipsis cum matribus, et uvae servatae parte anni quales fuerant in vitibus, Syriumque pirum, de corbibus et odoris mala recentis. (From my farm at Tiburtinum comes a baby goat, whose veins hold more milk than blood; mountain asparagus, big eggs, and the mothers that laid them, as well as grapes, preserved for six months, but still as fresh as when they were gathered; baskets of Syrian pears and fresh, sweet-smelling apples.) [circa 102, Juvenalis, Saturae 11.65–74]

Etymology
Unknown. Some refer it to Latin curvus, others to Ancient Greek κόλπος (kólpos) or from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerbʰ- (“to turn (around), wind”) (cognate with scirpus); it could be also a Semitic borrowing, comparing Ge'ez ከረቦ (käräbo, “basket”), Amharic ከረቦ (käräbo, “basket”), considering the variant Ge'ez ከበሮ (käbäro, “basket”) possibly related to Ge'ez ከፈር (käfär, “basket”), Tigrinya ከፈር (käfär, “basket”), Arabic قَفِير (qafīr, “basket”). Alternatively, possibly borrowed from early Proto-West Germanic *korb, from Proto-Germanic *kurbaz, from earlier *krebô (“basket”), from Proto-Indo-European *gerbʰ- (“bundle”). See: Latin Nouns '
curvus', Ancient Greek Nouns '
κόλπος'.
